Call for Papers: PRIMA 2015 - 18th International Conference on Principles
and Practice of Multi-Agent Systems

=============================================================================================================

Dates: 26th-30th October 2015

Location: Bertinoro, Italy

Website: http://prima2015.apice.unibo.it

Agent-based Computing addresses the challenges in managing distributed
computing systems and networks through monitoring, communication,
consensus-based decision-making and coordinated actuation. As a result,
intelligent agents and multi-agent systems have demonstrated the capability
to use intelligence, knowledge representation and reasoning, and other
social metaphors like 'trust', 'game' and 'institution', not only to
address real-world problems in a human-like way but also to transcend human
performance. This has had a transformative impact in many application
domains, particularly in e-commerce, and also in planning, logistics,
manufacturing, robotics, decision support, transportation, entertainment,
emergency relief & disaster management, and data mining & analytics.

Information for authors:


PRIMA 2015 invites submissions of original, unpublished, theoretical and
applied work on any such topic, and encourages reports on the development
of prototype and deployed agent systems, and of experiments that
demonstrate novel agent system capabilities. There will be a special track
on applications of multi-agent systems. The papers for this track would
report experiences on using agents in an application domain and also
discuss the challenges in deploying them.

Publication, awards, and special issues:

All accepted papers will be published in Springer’s LNAI series. There will
be a best paper award sponsored by Springer-LNAI. Award winner(s) will also
be invited to submit an extended version to a fast track of the Journal of
Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. There will be two special
issues: one with Fundamenta Informaticae and one with the Knowledge
Engineering Review.

Topics (not limited to the following):

=======================================



- Foundations of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems

- Agent and Multi-Agent System Architectures

- Agent-Oriented Software Engineering

- Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation

- Cooperation/Collaboration, Coordination/Communication

- Hybrid Technologies for Multi-Agent Systems

- Application Domains for Multi-Agent Systems

- Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems





Paper Submission

=================



Two types of contributions are solicited:



- Full papers, up to 16 pages in LNCS format, should present original
theoretical and/or experimental research in any of the areas listed above
that has not been previously published, accepted for publication, or is not
currently under review by another conference or journal.



- Short papers (early innovation papers), up to 8 pages in LNCS format
showcasing works-in-progress (will be reviewed with an emphasis on
novelty/originality of the idea).



Papers are to be submitted through the Easychair Conference Management
System:
